The Retreat Kitchen

The Retreat Kitchen in Richmond brings a much-needed injection of vibrancy to vegan food. Born out of the acclaimed TV programme, ‘The Retreat’, which saw participants head to a Thailand detox retreat for a life changing adventure, the cafe is owned by Nick Knowles, Maggie Nuttall and Claire Langdon. Based at 16 Hill Rise, the cafe provides a creative selection of vegan dishes and drinks, such as beetroot brownies, cashew ‘cheesy’ leek and broccoli quiches, creamy oat milk lattes and a seasonal salad bar, that are not just good for you, but good for the planet too. Claire and Maggie combine local produce, products and international flair designed to surprise and delight even the most stubborn of carnivores.
The weekend is a laid back affair with an all day brunch menu where you can enjoy Maggie and Claire’s take on traditional breakfast offerings including stuffed chickpea omelette, mushroom florentine muffin with hollandaise sauce and loaded fresh fruit, banana and cinnamon pancakes.
The Retreat Kitchen is open Tuesdays-Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm and for brunch and afternoon tea at the weekends from 09:30am to 5pm
